In a quite remarkable coup, The Politico has managed to anchor its new opinion section with some fresh, underexposed faces, presented in a highly original format in a very unusual “contrarian moderate liberal vs. movement conservative hack” configuration.

The Dallas Cowboys are an extremely disciplined, well-coached team that will at a minimum play for a conference championship. And there ain’t no pretty girls in France. It seems worth quoting th

This is normally Farley’s department, but with insufficient notice I’ve created a Pigskin Pick ‘Em group for those degenerate LGM readers who just have to not-bet. Info is th
I largely echo what Adam, Glenn, and Nick Baumann have to say about yesterday’s disgraceful 9th Circuit ruling upholding the Obama administration’s efforts to shield the government’s arbitrary-rendition-for-torture program from scrutiny. It’s worth remembering what’s at stake here. The majority opinion, before sadly eating the oysters, details some of the grotesque abuses our government is […]
The efforts of people such as Dr. Jenny McCarthy seem to be having their desired effect.
“The Suitcase” may well be the best episode of Mad Men to date. Not that admiration necessarily precludes critique, but as I may gush a little bit about Jennifer Getzinger‘s direct
